# 📊 Metadata for 40 million GitHub repositories |
|
|
|
[](#license) |
|
[]() |
|
[]() |
|
|
|
A cleaned, analysis-ready dataset with per-repository statistics aggregated from **GH Archive** events: stars, forks, pull requests, open issues, visibility, language signals, and more. Column names mirror the GH Archive / GitHub API semantics where possible. |
|
GitHub repo: https://github.com/ibragim-bad/github-repos-metadata-40M |
|
|
|
> Source: [GH Archive](https://www.gharchive.org/) (public GitHub event stream). |
|
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Quickstart |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from datasets import load_dataset |
|
|
|
ds = load_dataset("ibragim-bad/github-repos-metadata-40M", split="full") # or 'sample' for random sample of 1 million repositories. |
|
|
|
``` |
|
|
|
|
|
## 📈 EDA Notebook |
|
|
|
- `data_visualisation.ipynb`: Simple exploratory data analysis of the dataset (column overview, basic distributions, missing-value checks, sample visualizations). |
|
|
|
## 💡 Use cases |
|
|
|
* Trend analysis of stars/forks/PRs |
|
* Language mix & repo growth signals |
|
* Ranking by activity / stability |
|
* Input features for ML models (quality or popularity prediction) |
|
|
|
## 📦 What’s inside |
|
|
|
Each row aggregates repository-level stats derived from GH Archive events and GitHub metadata snapshots. |
|
|
|
**Schema (columns & types)** |
|
|
|
| Column | Type | Description | |
|
| ------------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
|
| `repo_name` | `string` | `owner/name` | |
|
| `language` | `string` | Primary language (human-readable) | |
|
| `created_at` | `timestamp` | Repo creation time (UTC) if available | |
|
| `description` | `string` | Repo description | |
|
| `description_language` | `string` | Detected natural-language code of the repository description (ISO 639-1/2) | |
|
| `description_language_score` | `float32` | Confidence score for description_language (0–1) | |
|
| `license_key` | `string` | SPDX-like license key | |
|
| `forks_count` | `int64` | Current forks count | |
|
| `watchers_count` | `int64` | Watchers/stars count (note: GitHub’s legacy “watchers” vs “stargazers”) | |
|
| `size` | `int64` | Repo size (KB, as reported by GitHub) | |
|
| `last_pr_id` | `int64` | Latest available PR id | |
|
|
|
Values may be `null` when unavailable from the source. |
|
|
|
|
|
## 🏗️ How it’s built (ETL) |
|
|
|
- **Data source:** GH Archive public event stream; window through 2025-07-23 (UTC). |
|
- **Event filter:** |
|
- CreateEvent (ref_type=repository) to capture initial repo creation and timestamps. |
|
- PullRequestEvent to obtain rich repo snapshots embedded in PR payloads. |
|
|
|
- **Extraction:** |
|
- Parse event.repo and payload.*.repo snapshots for: repo_name (owner/name), description, language, license_key, size, visibility, created_at, open_issues_count, forks_count, watchers_count. |
|
- Track latest observed PR identifier as last_pr_id. |
|
- **Aggregation:** |
|
- Group by repo_name; keep the most recent snapshot within the window. |
|
|
|
|
|
**Notes** |
|
- Coverage primarily comes from PullRequestEvent snapshots; repositories without any PRs are generally missing. |
|
- Stars/watchers and forks are taken from event-time snapshots and may be slightly stale versus live GitHub. |
|
- Values can be null if not present in the underlying event payloads. |
|
|
|
|
|
## ⚠️ Limitations |
|
|
|
* GH Archive reflects **public** events only; private repos are out of scope. |
|
* Some GitHub fields (e.g., watchers vs stargazers) have historical quirks. |
|
* Missing values where source is unavailable. |
